I'm from Kennesaw my surgery date is Feb 18, 2014 at Mexico Bariatrics with Dr. Alejandro Lopex. So excited I've already started a Protein diet and will start a pre op. diet on the 4th which is 2 Protein Drinks and a light meal. Unfortunately my BMI is to high 51.6 and you get charged an additional fee if it's not 49 or lower. I have around 20 lbs to lose. Ugh

Are there any guys in the Atlanta area that were sleeved?

I am in Adairsville (exit 306 on I75). Dr Scott did my sleeve surgery at Floyd hospital on 1/22/2014.

That is great to hear Deena! It's only been five days for me but I am feeling pretty good. Any suggestions getting through this month?

Just take it slow and easy, try you best to get your Protein in, and your Water ( you will not get it all in at first). It's going to be sore getting up obviously you know that. sleeping in a recliner helped me. Walking also helped. Keep your eye on the prize! It's a great journey! I was 281.2 on surgery day, today I am 211! Good luck!

That really is encouraging Deena, I get all the Protein Cala called for and 40-50 ounces of Water right now. I was really impressed with the experience so far.

Hello everyone I'm from Conyers, GA will be sleeved in March. I'm super excited but equally nervous. I've just begun trying different Protein drinks to have an idea of what I like and don't. My goodness this 6 months has just flown by.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
